Why was the HR580 series injector making abnormal noises and smoking?
Bearings had seized on the gripper carriers.
•The dust seals on chain roller bearings can be displaced by the spray from a power washer. This causes water to be introduced to the bearing and grease displaced.

During storage of the injector the corrosion set in and resulted in seized bearings
